1 Now Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalemheard that Joshuahad taken Aiand totally destroyed10:1 The Hebrew term refers to the irrevocable giving over of things or persons to the Lord, often by totally destroying them; also in verses 28, 35, 37, 39 and 40.it, doing to Aiand its king as he had done to Jerichoand its king, and that the people of Gibeonhad made a treaty of peace with Israel and had become their allies. 2 He and his people were very much alarmed at this, because Gibeonwas an important city, like one of the royal cities; it was larger than Ai, and all its men were good fighters. 3 So Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalemappealed to Hohamking of Hebron, Piramking of Jarmuth, Japhiaking of Lachishand Debirking of Eglon. 4 "Come up and help me attack Gibeon," he said, "because it has made peace with Joshuaand the Israelites."
5 Then the five kings of the Amorites—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachishand Eglon—joined forces. They moved up with all their troops and took up positions against Gibeonand attacked it.
6 The Gibeonitesthen sent word to Joshuain the camp at Gilgal: "Do not abandon your servants. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, because all the Amorite kings from the hill country have joined forces against us."
7 So Joshuamarched up from Gilgalwith his entire army, including all the best fighting men. 8 The Lordsaid to Joshua, "Do not be afraid of them; I have given them into your hand. Not one of them will be able to withstand you."
9 After an all-night march from Gilgal, Joshuatook them by surprise. 10 The Lordthrew them into confusion before Israel, so Joshua and the Israelites defeated them completely at Gibeon. Israel pursued them along the road going up to Beth Horonand cut them down all the way to Azekahand Makkedah. 11 As they fled before Israelon the road down from Beth Horonto Azekah, the Lordhurled large hailstones down on them, and more of them died from the hail than were killed by the swords of the Israelites.
12 On the day the Lordgave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshuasaid to the Lordin the presence of Israel:
"Sun, stand still over Gibeon,
and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon."
13 So the sun stood still,
and the moon stopped,
till the nation avenged itself on10:13 Or nation triumphed overits enemies,
as it is written in the Book of Jashar.
The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day. 14 There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the Lordlistened to a human being. Surely the Lordwas fighting for Israel!
15 Then Joshuareturned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
Five Amorite Kings Killed
16 Now the five kings had fled and hidden in the cave at Makkedah. 17 When Joshuawas told that the five kings had been found hiding in the cave at Makkedah, 18 he said, "Roll large rocks up to the mouth of the cave, and post some men there to guard it. 19 But don’t stop; pursue your enemies! Attack them from the rear and don’t let them reach their cities, for the Lordyour God has given them into your hand."
20 So Joshuaand the Israelites defeated them completely, but a few survivors managed to reach their fortified cities. 21 The whole army then returned safely to Joshuain the camp at Makkedah, and no one uttered a word against the Israelites.
22 Joshuasaid, "Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me." 23 So they brought the five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachishand Eglon. 24 When they had brought these kings to Joshua, he summoned all the men of Israel and said to the army commanders who had come with him, "Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings." So they came forward and placed their feet on their necks.
25 Joshuasaid to them, "Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Be strong and courageous. This is what the Lordwill do to all the enemies you are going to fight." 26 Then Joshuaput the kings to death and exposed their bodies on five poles, and they were left hanging on the poles until evening.
27 At sunset Joshuagave the order and they took them down from the poles and threw them into the cave where they had been hiding. At the mouth of the cave they placed large rocks, which are there to this day.
Southern Cities Conquered
28 That day Joshuatook Makkedah. He put the city and its king to the sword and totally destroyed everyone in it. He left no survivors. And he did to the king of Makkedahas he had done to the king of Jericho.
29 Then Joshuaand all Israel with him moved on from Makkedahto Libnahand attacked it. 30 The Lordalso gave that city and its king into Israel’s hand. The city and everyone in it Joshua put to the sword. He left no survivors there. And he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.
31 Then Joshuaand all Israel with him moved on from Libnahto Lachish; he took up positions against it and attacked it. 32 The Lordgave Lachishinto Israel’s hands, and Joshua took it on the second day. The city and everyone in it he put to the sword, just as he had done to Libnah. 33 Meanwhile, Horamking of Gezerhad come up to help Lachish, but Joshuadefeated him and his army—until no survivors were left.
34 Then Joshuaand all Israel with him moved on from Lachishto Eglon; they took up positions against it and attacked it. 35 They captured it that same day and put it to the sword and totally destroyed everyone in it, just as they had done to Lachish.
36 Then Joshuaand all Israel with him went up from Eglonto Hebronand attacked it. 37 They took the city and put it to the sword, together with its king, its villages and everyone in it. They left no survivors. Just as at Eglon, they totally destroyed it and everyone in it.
38 Then Joshuaand all Israel with him turned around and attacked Debir. 39 They took the city, its king and its villages, and put them to the sword. Everyone in it they totally destroyed. They left no survivors. They did to Debirand its king as they had done to Libnahand its king and to Hebron.
40 So Joshuasubdued the whole region, including the hill country, the Negev, the western foothills and the mountain slopes, together with all their kings. He left no survivors. He totally destroyed all who breathed, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded. 41 Joshuasubdued them from Kadesh Barneato Gazaand from the whole region of Goshento Gibeon. 42 All these kings and their lands Joshuaconquered in one campaign, because the Lord, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.
43 Then Joshuareturned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
